The Yin-Yang Twin Mirror Draws Heavenly Venerable Daode's Attention
The Heavenly Venerable Daode was discussing the Dao Ancestor's legacy with Dao Ancestor when Nüwa walked in, and he was slightly taken aback.
Nüwa pays respects to her teacher!
Upon seeing the Heavenly Venerable Daode, Nüwa hurriedly knelt down and paid her respects.
Upon seeing Nüwa, the Heavenly Venerable Daode quickly stood up, helped her up, and asked with concern, "Nüwa, have your injuries healed?"
"Yes, Nüwa's injuries have fully healed."
Nüwa smiled and said, "Teacher, during this time, I have been studying the Yin-Yang Millstone in Ao Changsheng's mansion and have obtained a great fortuitous opportunity. Now I have mastered a part of the Yin-Yang Millstone's supernatural Divine Ability and have refined one-third of its Divine Sense. I believe that soon I will be able to fully master and refine the Yin-Yang Millstone. Nüwa will definitely be able to reach the top and ascend to the realm of the Daluo Golden Immortal."
Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Venerable Daode was immediately delighted and said, "Nüwa, you did a good job this time."
Having said that, he turned to Ao Changsheng and said, "I was just about to send Nüwa to find some spirit medicine, but you have come to me of your own accord. It is truly a blessing from heaven. I am in need of an Nüwa priest. Nuwa is quite talented and has a strong will. She is perfect to be a guest priest of our Daoism. What do you think, fellow Daoist?"
"This Yin-Yang Millstone is a sacred object of our Daoist Sect, and naturally belongs to our Daoism. Fellow Daoist, there's no need to ask any further questions. No matter who it is, it's wishful thinking to try and refine the Yin-Yang Millstone. This Yin-Yang Millstone can only be in the hands of Nüwa. Fellow Daoist, are you aware that this Yin-Yang Millstone is a sacred object of our Daoism? It is absolutely forbidden for anyone to touch it, otherwise, it would violate the laws of our Daoism," Ao Changsheng said with a cold expression.
"Hmph, so Nüwa is the one who doesn't know what's good for her."
"Indeed, Master. This person is not only ungrateful but also narrow-minded, not worth worrying about. However, her cultivation is extremely high; even the Dao Ancestor's disciple might not be her match. Dao Ancestor, why don't you let me deal with this ungrateful person for you?" Ao Changsheng raised his eyebrows, his eyes flashing with cold light and murderous intent. Clearly, he was furious. He, a great Great Emperor of the Daoist Sect and the most outstanding disciple of the Dao Ancestor, was being called a "little brat"—this was absolutely unacceptable.
"Oh, does Brother Dao intend to fight Nüwa? I wonder if you are confident of defeating her?" Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Venerable Daode raised his eyebrows, seemingly quite interested.
"Teacher, please rest assured. Although this woman's cultivation is not bad, I am not weak either. I am confident that there is probably no expert here who can be my match. Moreover, Nüwa is only at the level of Heavenly Immortal. Once I unleash my full strength, I can capture her. Teacher, please rest assured, I will definitely make Nüwa pay the price." Ao Changsheng's eyes were cold, and his murderous intent was sharp.
"Haha, then I'll have to trouble you, fellow Daoist. I wonder how you plan to make your move?" the Heavenly Venerable Daode said with a smile.
"Hehe, teacher, please wait a moment." Ao Changsheng smiled slightly, then his body flickered and he disappeared from the spot.
Upon seeing this, the Heavenly Venerable Daode's eyes flashed with a sharp light, but he quickly regained his composure and continued to meditate with his eyes closed.
Inside a giant palace.
"Haha, Ao Changsheng actually got injured and lost the Yin-Yang Millstone. He's really lost face big time this time, haha."
A man dressed in a blue robe, thin in build, and looking to be only in his early forties, loudly mocked.
"Yes, this is truly gratifying. I don't know why, but I think Ao Changsheng has really suffered a major setback this time."
On the other side, a man who looked to be around fifty years old, dressed in white and with a thin build, nodded and echoed his agreement.
Outside the Daoist grand formation, the Heavenly Venerable Daode and the Heavenly Lord Daode sat on a futon. The Heavenly Lord Daode had a calm and serious expression, but his eyes twitched incessantly, clearly indicating that he was also very excited.
"After the Dao Ancestor passed down the Yin-Yang Millstone, this Yin-Yang Millstone became a supreme treasure of our Daoist school. It was created by the Dao Ancestor and is a sacred object of Daoism, extremely rare and hard to come by. I never expected that Nüwa would seize it. Haha, my Daoist sacred object has been taken by someone else! I cannot tolerate this!"
The Heavenly Lord Daode's expression shifted, secretly pondering how to deal with Nüwa. He had heard a little about Ao Changsheng Heavenly Lord Daode's humiliating defeat, and his expression wasn't good either. After all, his grandson was his pride, and to have been defeated by someone else was an insult he couldn't swallow.
"Haha, fellow Daoist, there's no need to worry. This person is nothing but a greenhorn. So what if he's powerful? Would the Dao Ancestor turn against us for such a mere ant? I'm sure the Dao Ancestor will punish our Dao Clan for protecting this fiend."
The Heavenly Venerable Daode stroked his beard and smiled, harboring his own calculations.
Both Daoist Sage, Heavenly Venerable Daode and Heavenly Lord Daode, remain here to await the arrival of Dao Ancestor, even though Dao Ancestor has already gone into seclusion. Heavenly Lord Daode even sent someone to inform Dao Ancestor of this matter, hoping that Dao Ancestor could stand up for the Dao Clan.
It's no wonder the two were so enthusiastic. You see, in Daoism, the Dao Clan holds a very high position. Not only is their status lofty, but they also occupy the top position among the Great Sage of Daoism. In Daoism, besides the Heavenly Court, the Dao Clan is second only to the Heavenly Court.
In Daoism, the Dao Ancestor is the strongest being in the world. He is the ruler of the Daoist Sect. Within the Daoist Sect, there are only the Dao Ancestor and his two disciples. Both of them have already broken through to the Primordial Peak Daluo Golden Immortal, not far from the Dao Ancestor.
If given more time, they could probably break through to become experts at the peak of the Primordial Perfection Daluo Golden Immortal. At that time, even the Daoist Sect Sage would not be their match. Moreover, they are the only two Sages in Daoism. Daode, Daozong, and Dao Ancestor are the three great Sage among the Daoist Sage. Each of these three Sage holds a higher position in Daoism than the ordinary Dao Ancestor. This is why Heavenly Lord Daode is so eager to obtain the protection of Dao Ancestor.
Yang Jian overheard the entire conversation between the Heavenly Lord Daode and Ao Changsheng. A cold smile appeared on his lips as he muttered to himself, "So you, Heavenly Venerable Daode, already knew about our relationship. It seems this was all within your expectations. In that case, let's play a game and see who emerges victorious in the end."
Involuntarily, the face of the Heavenly Venerable Daode appeared in Yang Jian's mind, his face gleaming with a strange light, and his eyes revealing a deep sense of anticipation.
Yang Jian knew that his fortuitous opportunity had arrived. As long as he could kill the Heavenly Venerable Daode, the Dao Ancestor's inheritance within the Heavenly Venerable Daode would be his. At that time, his strength would definitely be even more formidable, perhaps even reaching the Quasi-Sage level!
